Flu! Flu! Flu! What a small
word to cause so much excitement,
If you have not been visited by
this unwanted friend you are quite
fortunate. What » pity to be just
an outcast as this “friend" is, but
has it ever brought any good with
it?
It is hard to imagine how people
of the United States snd wprld
during the time of exploration and
settling were able to even have s
meager existence. Only one doc
tor (an unlearned one at that)
serving large communities. How
were the people who lived crowd
ed together able to live life long
snd tireless is a question that we
have not solved until today.
We are living in a land of op
portunity and do we fully realize
our positions? We are constantly
surrounded by good medical care.
but we so often fail to appreciate
it. the

visit people with it. Stay it home

Some people have not yet

guarding your health as you
should? You people who are well

at all times. Do not visit homes in
which people have flu and drink

Friday night the Purple and
Gold will be the hosts of the age
old rivalry between Porterdale and
j Covington. Covington was the vic
tor in the last meeting 4 . , 19-9 n „ in . the ..
hoys game and 15-13 in the girls
; tilt. Harry Faulkner was the star
for Covington, getting 10 points,
j while Monk Moody led the PHS
' boys with 3 points. The girls game
I was a thriller with Pat Patterson
; half because of the flu. The game
j is bound to be a thriller with the
team that gets the breaks coming
out on top. Porterdale boasts a
strong forward wall with Martin,
Benedict and Cook. These girls ran
circles around the Loganville girls
and Coach Thornton thinks that
he has finally found a good com
bination to represent old PHS. The
Porterdale boys were playing
against Loganville with four of its
players out with flu. The PHS ca
gers were finally rewarded for the
long and hard practice that they
had to go thru during the vacation
period. Probable line-ups:
(N^TtirciTfaT^nte^ (No. 9), Burch (8), center, S Hilton
( vr « u „ds. Sh,o Khi « ( 3) , Bow-

Porterdale — forwards, Martin

guards, All^n (7), Waddleton (6),
Day (12).
Covington—forwards, Henderson

This game will bring together a

Since this is the first time that

we haven’t been successful in se

don't worry, Seniors, we might

Fame and 41
By Don Brumbaugh
Well, we are back in print after
a long busy holiday. The PSW has
taken a lot of time.
It looks li' - the big strong has
ketbEil players aren’t so strong
after all. I hear that a lot of them
were flat on their backs with the
flu.
Hubby Shropshire and Bill Bow
den are sure doing it right. They
stay in bed during the day and
mak e the rounds at night. They
don’t get any better but it’s a lot
of fun.
It seems that shme-of the teach
ers were a little sick with the flu,
but who wasn’t?
The basketball team is
proud of their victory over Logan
ville. We are sure you remember
the big defeat they handed us. Wei!
that goes to show what a gooi
floor and a little heat will do to i
team.
The game last Tuesday wa
called off and we believe it was :
good thing. Bill Bowden, one o
the draftees, was sick and being a
former Livingston boy, he knows
all the tricks of that court, if the
team played without him, well we
don’t know.
As we look over the lineup of
Porterdale we find a lot of these
so-called draftees, Lila Mae “Gen
eral” Benedict from Monticello.
Bill Bowden from Livingston, and
yours truly from Philadelphia. Roy
Carter from New York also tried
for the team.
Well, all of you children be good
and get out there and yell Coving
ton out of a victory. Be seein’ you.
BIG EROSION DAMAGE
Soil erosion is costing the United
States more than $3,800,000,000 i
year and has already damaged half
the land of the country , H. H. Ben
nett, chief of the U. S. Soil Con
servation Service, declares in his
annual report to the Secretory of
Agriculture. The productive soil
weath of the nation is not as great
as most people commonly believe it
to be, according to Bennett, wh g
warns “that the United States may
be face to face with i
serious land shortage unless ero
sion is effectively and promptly
halted.” 1
